Export Outlook 2010 Exchange content from one computer to another?

Hello folks,

I know with pop3 account it's quite easy: export everything to .PST and import with new computer. Is something like this possible with Exchange server accounts?

Last time I tried (importing PST into Outlook exchange account) import went ok, all emails were there, calendar notes, tasks... but the moment I was online, laptop started to sync everything from scratch - resulting in duplicate emails.

Reason why I want to do this is to avoid long time waiting for sync everything. In my case (PST file created was 7GB), I need to leave laptop overnight, sometimes 18-20 hours to sync all emails (as I live in EU and our company emails are at Exchange server in US). Internet speed is ok I guess (8MB per second), but I'm losing almost 2 days to sync everything.

That's the main reason I'm pushed back re-installing laptop sometimes.

Is there a way to export all emails to HDD (PST or OST file maybe) and then import everything into fresh version of Outlook without side effects (sync and double emails)?

EDIT: I have looked into this link:

I'll give it a try.

Hi miki69,

The process of manuually importing your Outlook's .pst to an Exchange email account is similar to POP3, I have success on doing this process.

or....For a few computers, if you are an Exchange or Network Admin, you may try this neat command from your EMS not from the EMC. I use the EMS for a lot of things very handy. http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/l...EXCHG.80).aspx

Are you part of your IT Dept? These type of configurations are only for IT Staff or Network Admins.

This is really upto your Network manager to sort out. It's supposed to sync each time you connect but it's only supposed to update the changes and not sync from the start. You will have a local copy of the pst/ost on your machine which should sync to the pst/ost on the exchange server. But it should take just a few minutes to update and not hours.

I agree, you should contact and get helped from your Exchange/Network Admin and they should be able to fix this remotely. You might get in trouble though if you're trying to fix it yourself and make things worst rather than resolving it.

He's the only one that would be able to assist you. I am a Network Admin myself and I won't/don't let our employees play around with their computers, it could get worst.

I'll give it another try with admin (hate to call this guy)
